My son gets this on Comcast and they share the same channel, I think Dish is the same.

Just in time for the Natalie Gulbis show tonight!!!

This is exactly how I got in on Comcast and it was that way since the beginning. The split channel is how NBC/Universal ( I think that's who owns Versus and the Golf Channel) decided to produce it. I don't know if they plan to change it anytime soon...

I would imagine we'll see alternate channels if this happens. It won't be a bandwith issue at least not after 11 launches.

You would think so, but DirecTV wasn't carrying the golf show in the 90s channels. If I remember correctly this game wasn't available in HD anywhere because of the golf coverage. So, this is a limitation on Comcast's (Vs. owner) side, not a bandwidth issue on DirecTV's side.

I subscribe to CHOICE and do not receive the GOLF channel. I do have access to VS at this time.

I just viewed the channel but what will happen when GOLF takes over the channel? Will Choice viewers have access to both Golf and VS or just VS or will D*
charge a HD fee for VS. BTW I do get GOLF on local cable basic package.

After a statement like that, I'm sure your citizenship can be revoked.

I know. And they actually have my passport now. I just sent them in for renewal.

I saw a poll when I still lived in Canada that Golf was the number 1 sports Canadian engaged in. I was hard for me to believe that. For all I know, hockey night goes very well with pokers and beers. That was before I discovered they have cute cart girls on golf courses.

I have CHOICE and not CHOICE PLUS but get the Golf Channels as part of my 'grandfathered' Sports Package.

When they first moved the Golf Channel out of Sports to part of the Choice PLUS I lost it. But it later reappeared and I think it is the result of it previously being included in my Sports package.

What you get and what you pay for with repect to TGC and Versus may be a function of when you signed up for the various services.

why does this channel not have a seperate channel ? why does it take over the sd channel?

i mean VERSUS/GOLF HD is NOT the same as Versus.

so why this foul up?

Ask Comcast.....
